WGE Series Weatherproof Strobes and Horn Strobes

Wide voltage range, 16 to 33 VDC or FWR 75 cd strobe meets ADA 4.28.3 requirements Listed for outdoor use when used with the GOE outdoor enclosure Jumper selection for high or low frequency and for temporal Code 3 or continuous tone patterns Separate horn and strobe functions; silences horn while strobes remain flashing Synchronize strobe, horn, or both using the AVS Series Synchronization Modules Use the SuperSlide feature for easy testing

The Gentex WGE Series Weatherproof Strobes and Horn Strobe combinations offer dependable visible and audible alarms. The horns have a synchronizable chime and whoop tone. Select high or low volume and choose a 2400 Hz (remote signaling) tone or a low frequency (1500 Hz to 3000 Hz) mechanical sounding tone where doors could prevent hearing the other tone. They are easily fieldchangeable from temporal Code 3 to a continuous tone. They are shipped from the factory on the temporal lower frequency mode, and come standard with a rugged diecast metal mounting plate. The strobes have a low operating current and a minimum flash rate of 1 Hz regardless of the input voltage. These devices are equipped with the SuperSlide feature to test supervision. Included with each unit is the GOE Outdoor Enclosure. The unit and GOE enclosure must be used together to meet the UL outdoor listing.

The D7022 must be set for 24 VDC operation and requires the AVS44 or AVSM Synchronization Modules for synchronization.
2 When used with a D7039 Multiplex Expansion Module, the

D7024 becomes an addressable fire alarm control panel (FACP).

For synchronization, use the AVS44 or AVSM Synchronization Modules with these control panels. Mounting Considerations For an outdoor application or a severe environment (NEMA 3R) application, the WGES Strobes and WGEC Combination Horn Strobes must be surface mounted on a flat wall in a GOE Outdoor Enclosure. The enclosure is supplied. Knockout holes are sized for halfinch conduit and matching connector. Use a watertight conduit fitting. Wiring Note Do not use these units in coded or pulsed signaling circuits.

The input terminals accept wires with diameters between 18 AWG (1.2 mm) and 12 AWG (2.3 mm).

* If you operate the horn in this mode at this voltage, it does not meet the UL reverberant sound level required for public mode fire protection service. These settings are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm use. Use the high output setting for public mode application. Note The sound output for the temporal (Code 3) tone is rated lower because the time the horn is off is averaged into the sound output rating. When the horn is producing a tone in the temporal mode its sound pressure is the same as the continuous mode.
